Scheduling a report in Portal

I want to implement delivering reports (9i) through
portal.
One of the requirements is to have the user the ability to schedule the report to run at any given time.
I heard that 9iAS portal has this ability.
If somebody knows how to do it please respond.
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
Sorry for troubling you.I just restarted the server and the task is being executed fine! I know that restarting the server may not be the solution but it just worked for me..
Thanks and regards

Scheduling the report from Infoview portal does not show up data

"The crystal report is based on a SAP BI query. The parameters of the report are basically the parameters(SAP variables) of the SAP BI query. When we run the crystal report in the CR Report Designer tool, it runs fine showing all the data correctly. Then we published the crystal report to the Crystal Enterprise Server from the SAP BI system. Through the Infoview portal, the user clicks on the 'Schedule' link for the report and sets the parameters. When the 'Schedule' button is clicked, it runs successfully but no data is seen in the report except for the template. But under the same report, in Infoview portal, if the user selects "View" link, sets the parameters and then clicks the 'Execute' button, it runs successfully showing all correct data.
Dont understand why it works for 'View' link but doesn't work for 'Schedule' link. Is there any setting that needs to be made for this?"
Thanks in advance,
Sri

Hi Sri,
When we are able to see the report and unable to schedule the report with in the Info view, then check with the user rights.
Just try to login with admin account and try to schedule the report.
Also check the report in CMC and see the preview of the report.
If the user doesn't have enough rights to schedule the report, then it doesn't allow it.
Also check with in the Folder rights with in the report is saved.

Deploy Bex reports in portals

Hi,
I need to integrate BI reports in portals.How to deploy Bex reports in portal.Please can u able to help me out in this issue.

Hi Laxmi,
It can be done by two ways using URL of the query and displaying the query, and using the technical name of the query and assigning to different rooms in the portal. Then schedule the query which automatically generate queries similar to process chain loading timely based.

RE: Scheduling a Report automatically

Hi Sap Guru's,
I need to schedule a report Daily Morning 09:00 AM automatically, is it possible or not. If it is possilble please give me information on this.
Thanks in Advance,
KrishnaPrasad.

Hi,
Schduling is ok but where you want to send that Report?.If you are not sending report data then there is no use of Atomated Process.
Normally If query is having variables it is difficult to handle automation.
Live Sceraio :
1. BI Report to Otherparty System through APD.
Ex : Through APD Process first you can dump the data into Application server.From there user can access the file.This APD process you can maintain in Proces chain and you can shedule the time also.

Unable to schedule a report to email and print

I have been working on a task to both print and email a report to recipients whose email addresses are obtained at runtime. So far I am able to email the report as a PDF attachment, however, I am not able to get the report to print. I have three thoughts as to why the report is not printing.
1. The printer is in a subdomain under the domain where InfoView and the Enterprise server reside.
2. It is not possible to schedule a report for both an SMTP and print destination simultaneously.
3. The format is causing an issue in printing - the SDK API states "Printer is a report format specific destination and can only be used when the report object is a Crystal Report."
I have looked at the scheduled report in InfoView and can see that the print settings I am passing are correctly set for the scheduled instance. Does anyone know if there is a problem with trying to schedule printing and email at the same time, or if the report format must be .rpt?
Below is my code. Thank you for your time.
String query = "Select SI_ID, SI_NAME, SI_PROCESSINFO, SI_SCHEDULEINFO, SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS From CI_INFOOBJECTS Where SI_ID=" + reportId;

Hi Jason,
Based on your code, I could not tell if you were scheduling a Crystal Report or a WebI document.
Regardless, what I would suggest is you try scheduling the report/document on InfoView.
Once you schedule it on InfoView, you can retrieve the instance on Query Builder (or through code) and compare the properties that are being set through InfoView and the one you set through your code.
This should indicate if you are missing some properies or have set some properties incorrectly.
Hope this helps.

Dan

Error while scheduling DESKI report in infoview

I m scheduling a DESKI report to users enterprise inbox from infoview using a server group. This server group has DesktopIntelligence Job server, Destination Job server, Adaptive Job server and Program Job servers and all these servers are running.
When I schedule the report to boldusers enterprise inboxbold it get failed and shows this error message
bolddestination DLL disabled. []: [CrystalEnterprise.Smtp] bold
I m wondering what has to be enabled for scheduling a report to infoview's own inbox.

Abhilash
You are correct that it shows all the prompts but only when we run the report either directly from the CR Designer or via View on Demand in Infoview/CMC.
But if I try to schedule an instance of this report, I am getting a check box in the parameter section which says "Show unused parameters" to see this dyanamic prompt. And When I check that box in Infoview still I am not able to select any value for this prompt as it's greyed out.
Hope I am able to explain my query to you.
Also attached a screen shot of the scenario for your reference.

i know the issue,i can give quick fix, but in-order to make sure you don't get another glitch like this.
I would recommend, you to install the scheduler in another schema or another db.
Re-installing the scheduler schema tables will fix this.
